I really had to search to find the output details (which, generally, means the numbers from those details are not the strong point of their product so they hide it):
The daily output of HomeBiogas 1.0 is approximately 3.1 kWh / 10500 BTU and HomeBiogas 2.0 is approximately 4.4kWh / 15000 BTU.
A very low-end ASIC (S9) consumes 33.6 kWh / day. So the HomeBiogas 2.0 would only run an S9 for about 3 hours per day, even assuming no loss from running that gas through a generator. I don't know the efficiency of a small genset, but let's say a 5 kW Gretech (which I found on Alibaba when doing a search) running at less than full power would have a horrible efficiency. You might see that HomeBiogas 2.0 produce enough gas to run the generator and an S9 for just 1 hour per day. I couldn't even find a smaller capacity genset, though I'm sure they exist.
So, to conclude: bitcoin mining is very energy intensive. While home biogas can have use cases that make sense (e.g., cooking stove use), bitcoin mining is not one of them.
Perfect! Thanks for this detailed answer
